HA05-EN040

Winda, Priestess of Gusto
WIND / Psychic / Level 2 / ATK 1000 / DEF 400
When this card is destroyed by battle with an opponent's attacking monster and sent to your Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Gusto" Tuner monster from your Deck.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Would you look at that, here's one of those very monsters I mentioned with the previous card! Not much to speak of overall though since he doesn't have much to choose from.
HA05-EN039

Gusto Thunbolt
WIND / Thunder / Level 4 / ATK 1500 / DEF 1200
At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card is in the Graveyard because it was destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard this turn: You can banish 1 "Gusto" monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon 1 WIND Psychic-Type monster with 1500 or less DEF from your Deck.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: I have no idea what fits this guy's requirements after he fulfills the first part of them but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt in case there are some later.
HA05-EN038
Gusto Egul
WIND / Winged Beast-Type Tuner / Level 1 / ATK 200 / DEF 400
When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower non-Tuner "Gusto" monster from your Deck.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: I don't recall seeing any good Gusto monsters that meet this guy's needs but he's at least a Tuner monster if all else fails.
HA05-EN037

Gusto Gulldo
WIND / Winged Beast-Type Tuner / Level 3 / ATK 500 / DEF 500
When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 Level 2 or lower "Gusto" monster from your Deck.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Here we have a Tuner that can replace itself with perhaps another Gusto Tuner monster but being Level 3, he cannot be one of the choices.
HA05-EN036

Gishki Shadow
WATER / Sea Serpent / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1000
If you Ritual Summon a WATER Ritual Monster, this card can be used as the entire Tribute. You can discard this card; add 1 "Gishki" Ritual Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Another support card for Rituals but unlike the DARK version of this card (Ritual Raven) there aren't any decent WATER Ritual Monsters out there right now.
HA05-EN035

Gishki Ariel
WATER / Spellcaster / Level 4 / ATK 1000 / DEF 1800
FLIP: You can add 1 "Gishki" monster from your Deck to your hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You can get the decent Gishiki Chain or another copy of itself but in either case, you're better off with this in a Gishiki deck.
HA05-EN034

Gishki Chain
WATER / Sea Serpent / Level 4 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1000
When this card is Normal Summoned: Look at the top 3 cards of your Deck. If there is a Ritual Monster(s) or Ritual Spell Card(s), you can reveal one of them to your opponent and add it to your hand. Then return the other cards to your Deck in the order of your choice.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 3
Comments: You've got some decent choices for this and this card won't hamper your deck in any of them with its effect!
HA05-EN033

Gishki Marker
WATER / Aqua / Level 4 / ATK 1600 / DEF 1200
When this card is Summoned: You can target 1 "Gishki" Ritual Monster or "Gishki" Ritual Spell Card in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It's like they took the previous two cards' effects and combined them but the end result is still the same: There aren't any good cards for this to choose from at the moment.
HA05-EN032

Gishki Vanity
WATER / Aqua / Level 2 / ATK 1000 / DEF 800
During your Main Phase: You can discard this card; this turn, your opponent cannot activate Spells, Traps, Spell/Trap effects, or Monster Card effects when a "Gishki" monster is Ritual Summoned, or when a "Gishki" Ritual Spell Card is activated.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: It keeps your Gishki Ritual monster or its Ritual Summoning safe from basically anything but at the moment, none of them are worth using.
HA05-EN031

Gishki Abyss
WATER / Fish / Level 2 / ATK 800 / DEF 500
When this card is Summoned: You can add 1 "Gishki" monster with 1000 or less DEF from your Deck to your hand, except "Gishki Abyss".
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: You get the effect regardless of how he's summoned but I doubt there's much good to choose from.
HA05-EN030

Molten Whirlwind Wall
Continuous Trap
All face-up "Laval" monsters you control gain 100 ATK for each "Laval" monster in your Graveyard.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: You'd need 10+ just to make this card a threat and you won't likely have that number when you even draw this card.
HA05-EN029
Gem-Enhancement
Normal Trap
Tribute 1 "Gem-Knight" monster, then target 1 "Gem-Knight" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target from the Graveyard.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Replace your current Gem-Knight monster that is about to bite the dust with one that can survive longer but that's about it.
HA05-EN028

Vylon Material
Equip Spell
Equip only to a "Vylon" monster. It gains 600 ATK. If this face-up card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Vylon" Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The ATK boost is minimal but if this card bites the dust, you can just grab another one or any other Vylon support Spell Card straight from your deck.
HA05-EN027
Searing Fire Wall
Quick-Play Spell
Banish any number of "Laval" monsters from your Graveyard; Special Summon an equal number of "Laval Tokens" (Pyro-Type/FIRE/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: In exchange for your banished monsters you get an equal number of Tokens that you can use for whatever you want, which is an okay trade-off.
HA05-EN026
Gem-Knight Fusion
Normal Spell
Send, from your hand or your side of the field to the Graveyard, the Fusion Material Monsters that are listed on a "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster Card, then Special Summon that Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.) If this card is in the Graveyard: You can banish 1 "Gem-Knight" monster from your Graveyard; add this card to your hand.
SUPER RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Right now, Gem-Knights don't have many good Fusions but this card can keep bringing them out since it has a retrieval effect too.
HA05-EN025

Vylon Epsilon
LIGHT / Fairy-Type Synchro / Level 8 / ATK 2800 / DEF 1200
1 LIGHT Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Equip Cards equipped to this card cannot be targeted by cards or effects. Once per turn: You can send 1 Equip Card equipped to this card to the Graveyard to target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy that target.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: He can protect his Equip Cards from things like MST but not from cards like the dreaded Heavy Storm or any other non-targeting effect.
HA05-EN024

Vylon Sigma
LIGHT / Fairy-Type Synchro / Level 7 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1000
1 LIGHT Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner LIGHT monsters
When this card declares an attack, if it is the only monster you control: You can equip 1 Equip Spell Card from your Deck to this face-up card.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 1
Comments: He's just a former shadow of her much darker (and far better) Xyz self and will and should see no play.
HA05-EN023

Laval the Greater
FIRE / Warrior-Type Synchro / Level 6 / ATK 2400 / DEF 800
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner FIRE monsters
When this card is Synchro Summoned: Send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard. If this card would be destroyed by a card effect, you can banish 1 "Laval" monster from your Graveyard instead.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: Another card whose effect spares it from certain failure though it's also hindering it from better status. 
HA05-EN022
Lavalval Dragon
FIRE / Dragon-Type Synchro / Level 5 / ATK 2000 / DEF 1100
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner FIRE monsters
You can shuffle 2 "Laval" monsters from your Graveyard into your Main Deck to target 1 card your opponent controls; return it to the hand.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: The effect can be used multiple times per turn, which isn't bad for the archtype but that's the only reason this card's rating isn't lower. 
HA05-EN021

Gem-Knight Topaz
EARTH / Thunder-Type Fusion / Level 6 / ATK 1800 / DEF 1800
"Gem-Knight Tourmaline" + 1 "Gem-Knight" monster
Must first be Fusion Summoned with the above Fusion Material Monsters. This card can attack twice during each Battle Phase. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster in the Graveyard.
SECRET RARE
Rating: 2
Comments: He's got better effects than the previous one and perhaps even the one before that but his low stats prevent his rating from being higher.
